Mounting The Asd - Toshiba G7 Quick Start Manual

The ASD input voltage should remain within 10% of the specified input voltage range. Input voltages
approaching the upper or lower limit settings may require that the overvoltage and undervoltage stall
protection level parameters, F626 and F629, be adjusted. Voltages outside of the permissible tolerance
should be avoided.
The input power frequency should be ±2 Hz of the specified input frequency.
Do not use an ASD with a motor that has a power rating that is higher than the rated output of the ASD.
The ASD is designed to operate NEMA B motors. Consult with your sales representative before using
the ASD for special applications such as with an explosion-proof motor or applications with a piston
load.
Do Not apply commercial power to the output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W.
Disconnect the ASD from the motor before megging or applying a bypass voltage to the motor.
Interface problems may occur when this ASD is used in conjunction with some types of process
controllers. Signal isolation may be required to prevent controller and/or ASD malfunction (contact
your TOSHIBA sales representative or the process controller manufacturer for additional information
about compatibility and signal isolation).
Use caution when setting the output frequency. Over speeding a motor decreases its ability to deliver
torque and may result in damage to the motor and/or the driven equipment.
All G7 ASDs are equipped with internal DC bus fuses. However, not all G7 ASDs are equipped with
internal primary power input fuses (HP dependent). When connecting two or more drives that have no
internal fuse to the same power line as shown in Figure 2, it will be necessary to select a circuit-
breaking configuration that will ensure that if a short circuit occurs in ASD 1, only MCCB2 trips, not
MCCB1. If it is not feasible to use this configuration, insert a fuse between MCCB2 and ASD 1.

holes on the rear of the ASD.
The ambient temperature rating for the G7 is from 14 to 104° F (-10 to 40° C). The process of
converting AC to DC, and then back to AC produces heat. During normal ASD operation, up to 5% of
the input energy to the ASD may be dissipated as heat. If installing the ASD in a cabinet, ensure that
there is adequate ventilation.
Do Not operate the ASD with the enclosure door open.
When installing multiple ASDs, ensure that there is a clearance space of at least 8 inches (20 cm) from
the top and the bottom of adjacent units. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) on either side of
adjacent units. For the models below 50 HP the top and bottom clearance specifications may be reduced
to 4 inches (10 cm). This space ensures that adequate ventilation is provided (see the section titled
Enclosure Dimensions/Weight on pg. 33 for additional information on mounting space requirements).
Note: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed.
